Clinical Simulation Based Education
overall review score: 4.6
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Clinical simulation-based education is an instructional approach that utilizes realistic, interactive scenarios and advanced simulation technologies—such as mannequins, virtual reality, and standardized patients—to train healthcare professionals. It aims to enhance clinical skills, decision-making, interprofessional collaboration, and patient safety by providing a safe environment for practicing complex or high-stakes procedures without risk to real patients.
